Recap of Dandadan Episode 11
Episode 11 of Dandadan opens with a replay of Jiji’s introduction, this time highlighting Okarun’s perspective. Jiji’s confident personality emerges as Seiko explains his current living arrangements: he’s staying with her and Momo while his parents are hospitalized. Okarun and Aira leave shortly after, with Okarun’s goodbye to Momo turning awkward due to Jiji’s presence. Later, Jiji reveals that his house is haunted, and Seiko, as a powerful spirit medium, is the only one capable of helping. However, her abilities only work within Kamigoe City, so she enlists Momo and her friends to assist Jiji instead.

Really good episode(shocker I know), I like how the direction of this episode was to put into perspective Okarun's feelings of jealousy and inferiority, but by the end he regains his confidence
Also they're so cute together😭 pic.twitter.com/t1wNev5BZF
The next day, Jiji starts school with Momo and makes a great first impression on their classmates. Meanwhile, Okarun struggles with Jiji’s reappearance in Momo’s life, imagining worst-case scenarios where he loses contact with her entirely. Determined to impress Momo, Okarun begins working out but is soon discovered by Momo and Jiji. Attempting to sneak away, he encounters Taro, a life-sized plastic human model that has mysteriously come to life.
The trio chases Taro to a dump, where they learn that he longs to reunite with Hana, an older model discarded by the school. The episode ends with Okarun having a heartfelt realization about his feelings for Momo.
